Chickpea flour is a finely ground powder made from dried chickpeas (Cicer arietinum), widely used in Middle Eastern and South Asian cuisine. It has a mild, nutty flavour and a dense nutritional profile, naturally rich in plant-based protein, dietary fibre, and essential minerals. Being naturally gluten-free, chickpea flour is a versatile ingredient used in both savoury and sweet dishes, and is especially valued for its binding and thickening properties in cooking and baking.
